Commissioners made quick work of the slender agenda at Tuesday’s Wahkiakum County PUD Board of Commissioner’s meeting. General Manager Dave Tramblie reported on recent projects and purchases and revisited the problematic Western Wahkiakum Water System. “I was asked to keep the Western Wahkiakum Water System situation out on the table,” he said. “We talked about borrowing more money. If we borrowed $50,000 to do a half mile of pipe, you are going to spend $10,000 a year to pay that off and you’l...

She is an only child, the daughter of an inspector and a hospital administrator in a small town called Bar, in Montenegro, in part of what used to be Yugoslavia. “People hear Montenegro and think I am from South Africa,” Vlahovic said. “Or they would ask if I were from Spain. Even teachers would open with ‘Hola! Como estas?’ It created some really fun moments....

The Chamber was once separate from the now-defunct Lower Columbia Economic Development Council (LCEDC), but the Chamber...

The introduction to the Cathlamet Downhill Corral (DHC) Festival is a bit calm to describe the three days of action which the festival provides.

The...
Ralph Rodahl died June 1, 1997. Planners had so underestimated the man and his impact on the community that they held the service in a crowded space at Dowling Funeral Home. Outside in the warm sun that day, many waited to honor him and express their condolences to his family, wife Juanita, and children Randy and Kim. Rodahl was a generous and kind man and it was his vision that gave this small town a golf course. He graduated from Wahkiakum High School in 1939, and two of his track and field...

Jim Roberts and his wife, Sally, haven’t lived in Wahkiakum County all that long, but they love the place and particularly the local music so much that Jim promotes it on the radio.

GETTING BETTER--Our weekend saw us getting pretty soaked from time to time but during the afternoon hours, we had some pretty decent dry spells, so it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The same goes for the work week as we had off and on showers as it began, but we also had some dry spells, so it's our usual Spring time weather, in which we find the shower/sun combo making our lawns grow like crazy so the person in charge of mowing your lawn is definitely keeping busy. By the time you read this, we're supposed to be a little...

Ray Prestegard is a busy man. He’s devoted most of his life to music, and he’s found more than one way to interact with it. Along with performing, he decided to give radio broadcasting a try at KMUN, Coast Community Radio out of Astoria. “I’m an entertainer and a musician, so I’ve always broadcasted,” Prestegard said. “I listened to that old radio station for 20 to 30 years and I just decided to bite the bullet. I wanted to do it for decades.” The Elochoman Valley resident found himself doing a...
GORGEOUS--If you've been wanting to do yardwork and garden work and you've been stopped by the pouring rains we had last week, you certainly have had no excuses this week, as it's been beautiful out there. A little light breeze was blowing on Monday morning and along with that wonderful sunshine, I thought the temperatures were just right. With tornadoes in the midwest, snowstorms in Colorado and fires raging in the drought-stricken state of Texas, I almost feel guilty for enjoying this wonderful weather that we are currently experiencing....

It was the recent loss of a fellow veteran, Gary Huber that spurred members into action this year. “Gary had been talking about the memorial again,” VFW Commander Danny Eaton said, “so we formed a committee.” The memorial is dedicated to all the local men and women who have served in the Armed Forces. The large black basalt stone was do...
